I just let the Python email package to the encoding and it first tries pure ascii and switches to 8bit if this fails. This package automatically adds the proper e-mail headers based on the encoding type. It can also do QP or base64 encodings (if someone complains of an old SMTP server, maybe I'll add a config option to force QP body).

I won't have time to check this out today (in fact, it may have to wait until the weekend). But when I do check it out, I might have time to write that test, so please holler if you start working on that.
It would be great if you can run a test script. I've been thinking more of an "import" test that also checks both the "export" and "mail" commands. BTW, I'll try to add support for mbox importing which is pretty easy with the email package. -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
